Lucy Benjamin has signed up to compete in Celebrity X Factor.

The actress, who played EastEnders' Lisa Fowler until 2003, will battle with stars rumoured to include Kerry Katona, Chris Moyles, Jordan, Sol Campbell, Paul Daniels and Debbie McGee.

A friend told the News of the World: "Lucy's so excited to be doing Celebrity X Factor. She's a great little singer and the rehearsals are going brilliantly."

The special episodes of the show are set to air in late May or early June.
